Lygus bug vacuum featured in Vegetable Growers News

Vegetable Growers News' managing editor Chris Koger talks with Center Automation program leader John Lin about how an ongoing collaboration between the California Strawberry Commission, Cal Poly Strawberry Center, C&N Tractors and growers has greatly improved the efficiency of the Lygus bug vacuum. The vacuums operate without use of any chemicals, assisting both organic and conventional growers in reducing Lygus bug populations, estimated to cause $200 million in lost sales throughout the state each year.
